You know the ones I am talking about. The ones that freeze that second into a complete halt. The ones that ares so surprising that even in your best day dreams you couldn't even create that moment in your head. That was what Dustin's proposal was like. . . The Best Kind of Surprise.
It started with this painting. Dustin painted it then cut it up and
wrote clues and hints on the back of each piece then set up an
extravagant treasure hunt all over the island.
We went hiking at six in the morning....
After some amazing breakfast with macadamia nut syrup we went Kayaking, watched hang-gliders, and para-gliders.
Then Contessa made us one of the best sandwiches I have ever eaten. We watched sea turtles and whales from this spot. We then headed back to shower and get dressed up for eating out at P.F. Changs, my favorite restaurant.
One of the last clues Contessa gave to me with a blindfold on it. She blindfolded me and then took me for a drive.
This is where we ended up. Overlooking the ocean, palm trees, and the Hawaiian Sunset.
As Dustin took my blindfold off I remember opening my eyes and seeing everything he had laid out and thinking, "wow, this is really amazing just for something to do to make me feel special, the must had been a lot of work." That is all I thought, there was not even a second where the idea that he might even be thinking about proposing entered my mind.
After Dustin played his guitar and sang me a song he had written, he gave me the last piece of the painting. We put the painting together, and then talking a little about the day. During this time, i asked him why he was still so nervous, "the song is over Dustin, I loved it. You can relax now. Lets just sit and talk and hang out, Stop being so nervous." He smiled and said ok, but then told me he had one more question he wanted to ask me... And then I got the best surprise of my life and a beautiful ring on my finger.
